If you love stationary and based on sales, I think a lot of people do. Here's a gentle nudge to move past "collecting" and to actually USE the stationary. Write letters to friends and family. Send thank you notes. Write actual cards and MAIL THEM.

Rep. LaMonica McIver @replamonica.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
I am facing 17 years in federal prison for doing my job and standing up to Trump’s merciless immigration enforcement campaign. I am finding the strength to keep standing up every single day.

McIver’s inner strength is next level. She is running for reelection while fighting efforts by the Trump administration to jail her. Plus, she’s repping her constituents and caring for her family.

Something that astounds me is the level of accusation related to being disabled. Disabled people are accused of faking their disabilities. Disabled people are accused of not filling out paperwork properly. Disabled people are accused of being a problem when the real problem is ableism.

An unexpected treat came in the mail today! (I intentionally forgot I preordered it.) Now I get to make a cuppa and dive into some serotonin and daydream. *happy sigh* If you don't already know of @blackforager.bsky.social and you love plants (and food!) I suggest you go look. Bone Apple Teeth!
A picture of a hardcover cookbook titled "Happy Snacking, Don't Die" by Alexis Nikole Nelson, of Black Forager social media fame. The title is a reference to the phrase she ends all of her videos with. The book cover is soft shades of pink and pale yellow, with funky, chunky letters in pinks and oranges makeup the title. A large picture in the center of the cover shows Alexis outside, carrying a harvesting basket and perhaps laughing or singing. Certainly, she looks happy! She's wearing one of her many cute outfits; this one  appears to be a long lightweight skirt with a small checkered print in pale pastel colors with a similarly colored short sleeve blouse, which has a visually creative asymmetrical button placket down the front, as well as embroidery on it.

Truly, the author looks comfortable, cute, and confident. I'm very excited to read what's inside the cover!

There's nothing quite like the humility that you're forced into with a Dynamic Disability. You think, "I'm feeling good and strong today. I'll vacuum this 4ft x 3ft rug!" Then you collapse after getting only 2 ft^2 of it and think, "Ok, ok... That was a Poor Choice, got it. Understood!" *Flop*

Y'know what, Roop? I bet Rogers is terrified of being caught between two *highly intelligent POC*. Legit terrified. We know al Sayed is super smart; I know how smart Roop Raj is -- very. Rogers probably has nightmares about that kind of thing, since he's largely hot air and stale old rhetoric.

I've seen that facial expression in hospices. Guess that means I was wrong yesterday when I guessed it was a paid body double. *shrug* It's definitely elder abuse, though I'll admit I don't feel terribly bad for MMcC. My sense of ethics tells me that I'm looking at some kismet.

Before the annual bonfire was lit, the witch checked it. Five fieldmice and one hedgehog were gently evacuated. Then there were the toxic things. Someone's hatred. Another's regrets. And pain. It was good they were discarded, but if you breathed the smoke... She drew them out, for safe disposal.

I shall date myself here: - My parents had polio vax scars. - One parent nearly died of pertussis as a child. - The other nearly dies of measles as a child. - I am old enough to remember getting what are now infant/toddler vax's when I was young. - I predate the chickenpox vax. - I always vaccinate.

"Yoink!" the dragon said. "That's mine now." I took a breath to protest but was distracted by being able to take a breath. I took a few more, without a coughing fit. "You healed me?" "Pff. Why would I do that? I stole your cough for my hoard." "You hoard illnesses? I can help you find more!"

I was happily pregnant when I started bleeding at 5 weeks. I'd had an incomplete miscarriage. Got a DNC to prevent sepsis, which was good since the embryo had been dead a while, they said. Read: I was starting to get sepsis before I knew my baby was dead. Republicans want women dead. I know.
